Dog Attack Injuries

Especially when a child is the victim, a dog bite can cause very severe injuries, such as:

Scarring

Disfigurement

Nerve damage

Deep wounds

Infection

Pain and anguish

Emotional trauma

The medical expenses and lifelong trauma resulting from these injuries can be catastrophic. Emergency room bills and reconstructive surgery costs may be involved. If the dog bite victim is an adult, there may be lost wages because of an inability to work. Mental and psychological healthcare costs may also be added to your plate, if you or your loved one seeks treatment for the lasting trauma of the attack. Our attorneys fight for compensation on your behalf for all of these things and others.

What to Do After a Dog Bite Incident

After getting medical care for your injuries, you should call our attorneys as soon as possible. We will use all of our resources to begin building your case strategically. In a dog bite case in South Carolina, you need an attorney experienced in these types of claims.

In South Carolina, the dog owner or someone watching the dog on the behalf of the owner is typically liable for any injuries caused by the dog. Even if you are at the owner's home or another private property, you can still recover compensation for your injuries. If the victim was not allowed on the property or provoked the dog attack, then compensation is generally not awarded. But as the victim of an unprovoked dog attack, you deserve compensation.
